After she finished speaking, Yin Zhen sighed and said: "The queen's foot injury is not suitable for walking, the queen mother is sick and flawless, you have to bear more about the affairs of the harem, the most important thing at the moment is to rescue the people who are pressed and place them properly, as for the repair of the damaged palace...... Tomorrow I will be in charge of this matter with the Ministry of Works. ”

Nian's eyes glanced at Ling Ruo, who was standing behind Yinzhen, without a trace, and said, "The concubine understands that the concubine will definitely deal with this matter; It's just that the harem is so big, and there is only one concubine, even if there are three heads and six arms, it is difficult to take care of it, can you let Concubine Xi's sister help the concubines take care of one or two together? She was so busy herself, how could she be willing to see Ling Ruo feel better, and she still followed Yinzhen in and out.

Yin Zhen knew that what she said was the truth, and immediately said: "It's okay, Ruo'er, you will help Su Yan deal with this matter together." ”

"The concubine Shicai is also thinking about how to share the emperor's worries, and now it's just right." Ling Ruo lowered his eyebrows and said, his expression was gentle and gentle.

After Yinzhen left, Nian glanced at Ling Ruo and said with a smile: "My sister is really good at talking, I think my sister is sitting in the position of Concubine Xi with this mouth, right?" ”

In the face of her deliberate ridicule, Ling Ruo didn't get angry, but said lightly: "Does the concubine want to chat with the concubine here, or go to the palaces to save people?" ”

Choked by her like this, Nian snorted coldly and stopped speaking, but the hands hidden in his sleeves were quietly clenched, and a letter was lying peacefully in her sleeve at the moment, and there were five juanxiu fonts written on the envelope: Nian Guifei personally opened.

Let's say that after Yinzhen returned to the felt shed in front of the Yangxin Palace, he just sat down and washed his face, and saw Li Dequan rushing in in a hurry, still holding a letter in his hand, kneeling down and saying: "Your Majesty, Tongzhou is eight hundred miles urgent!" ”

Yin Zhen felt a pang in his heart, knowing that this must be a report about the earthquake, he hurriedly took it and opened it, and it was written on the fold that during the day, there was a sudden earthquake in Sanhe and Pinggu, from Tongzhou to Sanhe, the city wall where it was all collapsed, and the civilians who could not avoid it were all pressed underneath, the corpses were piled up into hills, and there were few survivors. The ground is cracked, the sand in the black water belt is out, and the ground in the Liuhetun and Pangezhuang areas sinks from several feet to more than zhang. As for Pinggu, it is more serious, the houses, towers and temples are empty, the ground is cracked, the fields are destroyed, and there is a landslide in the east mountain, the well is deformed, six or seven out of ten people in the whole county are crushed to death or due to the crack, there are very few survivors, as for the specific damage, casualties still need to be counted, but from the situation written on the fold, it is really not optimistic, and this is only near the capital, no one is sure that there is no earthquake in other places.

"Where is the messenger now?" Yin Zhen put together the fold and asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, just wait outside." Li Dequan hurriedly replied when he heard this.

"Come in with him, I have something to ask him personally." The situation in Tongzhou cannot be explained by a single report, not to mention the traffic along the road, and it is necessary to inquire carefully.

"The minion will pass him in." Li Dequan was about to get up after replying, but his legs and feet didn't obey the call, and instead of standing up, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. Since the earthquake, Li Dequan has been ordered to run, going from place to west, never stopping for a moment, he is already old and frail, plus he was injured on his forehead and bled a lot, his spirit is sluggish, and he is already tired, all thanks to his breath to support him.

Sixi saw that Li Dequan fell and couldn't get up, and subconsciously wanted to help, but then remembered that this was in front of Yinzhen, and couldn't help but want to take a step out of his feet, and then the next moment, Yinzhen's voice was heard in his ears, "Help your master up." ”

Sixi hurriedly agreed, and quickly helped Li Dequan to get up, but the latter was about to kneel down before he could stand firmly, and said in fear: "The slave is out of honor in front of the king, please forgive the emperor." ”

Yin Zhen sighed lightly, although he was stern but not mean, he waved his hand at the moment: "I don't blame you, go down and rest, I just have four joys waiting here." ”

Sixi helped Li Dequan, who was grateful for his kindness, to go down, and when he came in again, he was followed by a thin man with a dusty face, leaning on the clothes on his body, Yin Zhen could barely recognize that it should be a post pawn, and sure enough, he trembled and said: "The villain Tongzhou post man Ma San knocked to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

"Get up." Yin Zhen pinched the bridge of his nose and asked tiredly, "You sent the excerpt?" ”

Ma San saw the Son of Heaven for the first time in his life, and he didn't even dare to raise his head in fear, staring at his black fingertips on the ground and saying, "If you go back to the emperor, it was sent by the villain." ”

"What is the situation in Tongzhou at the moment, and the road is still smooth? And the people from the county government yamen are still alive? "The book is written by the prefect of Tongzhou Prefecture, and I think he is alive, but the rest of the people have no way of knowing.

Speaking of the state of Tongzhou at the moment, Ma San's body trembled, and there were big drops of muddy tears rolling down his cheeks, dripping on the stone bricks, and whimpering: "Your Majesty, Tongzhou is in a great disaster, there are countless deaths and injuries, and the villain's family is all dead, only the villain happened to escape a catastrophe outside, and the little renqizi was still pregnant at the time, and the doctor who came to see before said that this fetus is likely to be a boy, woo...... They died so miserably that the villain couldn't even see the back of the worst side. ”

Sixi saw that he was only concerned about himself, and hurriedly reminded: "The emperor is asking you about the road conditions in Tongzhou and the people from the county government yamen, you can tell your family what to do, and you are not ...... soon."

"It doesn't matter." Yin Zhen stopped Sixi's words, he saw the epitome of the entire Tongzhou from Ma San, and he was able to endure the great sorrow of his family's mourning and send the excerpt to the palace, which can be regarded as loyal.

Ma San also realized that what he said was inappropriate, and hurriedly wiped his tears and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave is the only horse in the post station that has not been stoned to death and rushed to the capital, when you come out, the road can barely pass, but then there are big stones rolling down from the side of the mountain, blocking the official road, and now it is not easy to go again." As for the government and county government...... "the tears that had just been wiped dry fell again," almost all of them died, only the prefect survived, but he was also smashed and injured a foot......"

"In addition, the prefect also said that this time the earthquake was felt so strongly, I am afraid that there will be earthquakes in other places." Ma San was full of sadness and despair.

Yin Zhen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, this earthquake, I don't know how many people will die, one Tongzhou is not the whole of the disaster, "Sixi, immediately announce that all the princes Baylor, the cabinet, Jiuqing, Zhan Shi, Ke, and Dao officials will enter the palace to discuss disaster relief." ”

The most important thing to delay in disaster relief is to delay it, the sooner the better, so there is a glimmer of life in it, and now the road is blocked, the people inside can't get out, if you don't get through the traffic quickly, the people inside will eventually die even if they are still alive.

By the way, all the officials who received the will entered the palace overnight as quickly as possible to discuss the earthquake relief, and they themselves were affected by the earthquake to varying degrees, one of the Dali temple secretary, and even died accidentally in the earthquake.
